Those who have downloaded the music app Virtual Guitar Free have already been treated to the sweet melodies that can only come from your iPhone or iPod touch... or an actual guitar too. If you thought you liked the software before, it may be time to give it another look, because a recent update has turned the awesomeness dial up to eleven.

Easily the most obvious benefit of the actual update itself is that it is now a Universal app that works natively with the iPad. While that alone would make this free app worth downloading, there is a bevy of new online features that are sure to strike a chord with all the digital musicians out there. Aspiring rock stars will now be able to upload and share their creations with the world. Conversely, you will also have the ability to download other people's digital opuses and play them on your own virtual axe.

You should definitely take a look a the budding musical community that is building around Virtual Guitar Free. Remember: if your ears aren't bleeding, you're not rocking hard enough!
